I'm 54 and am married to my first love Shelley, reunited together after many years apart. We have 1 cat and 2 dogs - pet fans
should get a chuckle out of the Darby Conley's comic
GET FUZZY.
I'm originally from Orlando, Florida (graduated from
W.R. Boone H.S. in 1972), and went to the University of Alabama
from 1972 to 1975.

I maintain MANUAL MANOR, a large library of manuals and documentation for synthesizers, keyboards, music, audio and video equipment, that I've collected over the past 35 years, and can supply upon request.
The complete listing is at my "Manual Manor" page!

Here's information on various items that I'm currently selling or trading, with graphics and specifications:

My major keyboard-related influence has been Emerson,
Lake and Palmer. I first saw them in January, 1974 during their Brain Salad Surgery Tour, when I took these photographs of them in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Most recently, I saw two of the summer 1996 shows during their tour with Jethro
Tull, , where I had the opportunity to meet Keith, Greg and Carl. Fans of ELP should also take note of the German band Triumvirat,
who are getting back together for a reunion. Some of the Jethro Tull photographs
that I've taken over the years are shown on this page.

In April 1995, during his C.H.A.T. (Coming Home to America) tour, Patrick
Moraz played a solo piano concert at Wedgefield Country Club in
Orlando, performing on my Yamaha G7 piano. It was a great evening enjoyed by about 50 people - I've included some of photographs
from the concert.
I also recently purchased Patrick's one-of-a-kind dual-manual 8-voice Oberheim synthesizer from him, that he used during his Yes and Moody Blues days. The 8-voice synthesizer can be seen and heard here.

These music sites listed at my Hot List
Reference Page will be of interest to fans of various progressive,
rock, jazz and electronic music, and reflect some of my musical tastes
as may be seen from my current CD listing.

I have a great admiration and fondness for the veterinarian / author
James Herriot's works, who wrote the "All Creatures Great and Small"
series of books, and I spent some time during my 1988 UK trip in the beautiful
Yorkshire Dales area, where he lived, worked and wrote. James Herriot
(real name Alf Wight) passed away in 1995, and will be greatly missed -
you can visit the James
Herriot Home Page for further information and tributes to this well-loved writer.

Thanks for taking the time to look over my web site.... I look
forward to hearing from you - comments, questions, etc.
